How to Plant and Grow Geranium
Plant Geranium Seeds: Sow seeds in 2 in. pots or cell packs, press into soil and barely cover. Kept at 70-75°F., germination is within 7-14 days. Bottom-heat can help maintain the ideal germination temperature. Soil moisture should be kept high until seeds germinate, then reduced to a moderate level after germination. Seedlings grow best with daytime temperatures in the 70s and nighttime temperatures in the 60s. Transplant into the garden 1 ft. apart, after all danger of frost has passed.
Grow Geranium: Full or part sun. Regular water. Flowers attract hummingbirds, plants are heat tolerant and resist rabbits and deer.
